NONRTRIC (John Keeney)
- Trying to assemble options for demos.
- Continuing as per last week : No specific update
- Alot of work in JDK 17 & Springboot 3 updates
- Consolidating PM data exposure in new repo for RAN PM functions
- (R1) Service Exposure & Management
- CAPIF Aligned Service Registry
- Secured/Sandbox execution environment
- Controlled access & exposure of service to/from rApps
(R1) Data Management & Exposure
- File-based PM data → InfluxDB
- Previous focus on PM data - but will extend to other use cases too
- Aim to work with AIML project for Training (and Inference ?) data access
rApp Management
- Built on ONAP “Automation Composition” model & platform to implement rApp use cases
- Inference Services in rApps
- Added a 'KServe Participant'
- rApp-specific extensions needed
- Inference Services in rApps
- Packaging, Onboarding & Orchestration of rApps
- rApp-specific packaging & Onboarding
- Aim to align with / inform ongoing work in O-RAN (& OSC) about Common App packaging & Onboarding.
- (rApps with & without µService)
- rApp-specific packaging & Onboarding
- Overlap with Service Exposure work to examine role of an rApp Manager to support controlled exposure & LCM of µService and non-µService parts of an rApp
- Built on ONAP “Automation Composition” model & platform to implement rApp use cases
Continued A1-Policy & A1-Enrichment-Information evolution (& R1-A1)
- A1 Spec evolution
- A1-Policy work in ONAP (continues in ONAP London) - candidate for R1-A1(P)
- A1-EI management as part of DME - candidate for how to include A1-EI in R1-DME
- Sample use cases (rApps)
- Requirements Drivers for rApp/R1 development
- High degree of cross-project integration activity
Testing, Maintenance & Housekeeping
- Function Test & Integration Test environment,
- Support integration, deployment & configuration of SMO/Non-RT-RIC related functions & usecases in OSC Integration env.
- Project coordination, Documentation, Delivery, Reporting, Cross-project alignment, Community demos, O-RAN Standardization support, etc.
SIM (Alex Stancu)
- ODU SIM now uses 3Gpp rel 18 yang models
- PM File generation
- John Keeney Alex Stancu No update
OAM (Martin Skorupski)
- Working on Std-Defined VES Message examples for CM, FM, PM (17 different samples)
- VES collector code updated to pull & inject YAML models automatically
- Previously netconf only - now also supports http/ves notifications
- Dockerfile with scripts
- VES collector code updated to pull & inject YAML models automatically
- Investigating WG4 OFHM v11 now has VES std defined models → Netoconf notification
- 27 notifications defined.
- Working to see how to integrate them
O-DU Vidhu Shekhar Pandey)
- Not many recent contribution for O-DU O1
- Some updates needed?
- Need to check std-defined PM VES messages are still OK (Based on OSC schema, no 3GPP model for VES-based PM available?)
- PM over VES still not supported by 3GPP - only use websocket streaming instead
OSC Integration / INT (James Li )
- Still working on CI/CT/CD toolset for OSC labs
- Big contribution on Robot tests / XTesting for O2IMS
RSAC/SMO (David Kinsey)
- Minutes: RSAC Meetings (5/4)
Commercial demo from Amdocs & Quali
- Good example of the kind of functionality/tooling that would be nice for OSC CI/CT pipeline
- SMO (Mahesh Jethanandani)
- See OSC Meetings calendar: https://lists.o-ran-sc.org/g/main/calendar
- See OSC SMO Project meeting notes
- PTL election continues
- Nominations so far: Yogendra Pal Seshu Kumar Mudiganti
- Voting starts next week - email
- No Update
AI/ML platform project (Joseph Thaliath)
Minutes & Meeting: Meeting notes
- Plan to automatically create DME jobs - currently manual
- Adding support for DELETE training jobs.
- Call for suggestions for topics for next release
Discussion on how to set up Bulk-PM subscriptions on the RAN functions → rApps/DME
- Overlap with AI/ML data access & NONRTRIC DME & OAM observability
- Many RAN functions have restrictions on the number (1?) of PM Jobs/subscriptions (created over CM) on the node.
- Need to combine subscriptions in overlapping 'jobs' on the nodes.
- Ref old work in in ONAP about PM job management
- Currently no relation between DME subscription set up & PM job management in NF. Assume PM delivery already initiated.
- In O-RAN Alliance it is currently unclear if Non-RT-RIC DME, or OAM PM functions, or rApp via OAM CM functions, or some other functions will be responsible for mapping DME requests to PM jobs.
- Lots off potential for implementation-specific optimizations.
ONAP Use cases (N.K. Shankaranarayanan)
- ONAP SON uses case ... & others
- Had a demo on CPS APIs
- 2023-04-04 Meeting notes - Developer Wiki - Confluence (onap.org)
- Still have work to do to actually use the CPS APIs .. but looks good.
- Had a demo on CPS APIs
